I transferred my nifty NextBase dash cam to the new truck using a NextBase factory hardwire kit.
NEXTBASE Universal Dash Cam Hardwire Kit - in Car Hard Wiring Kit Dash Cam Mini/Micro USB adapters
The install was straight forward EXCEPT that I could not figure out how to get to the darned inside fuse box. All information indicates that there is a grab handle/ recess and you simply hinge it downward. That doesn't work, my trim panel is held in place by EIGHT spring pins, you must pull it out at a top corner and work your way around the perimeter, then let it hang down. See following pics for details.
I secured the power supply at the far left of the fusebox area and routed the 5 volt power cable up the left side A pillar trim, after pulling away the rubber door seal, and tucked it into the front edge of the headliner. Excess cable is coiled down at the power supply, not up near the camera.
NOTE: A card with your secure key code is secured by 4 tabs on this fuse panel!!! Keep this code private!
